Timeless Velvets Velvet

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a quiet blend of warm ivory and light pearl, rather than a stark white, giving the velvet a softened and refined presence. Its close, even pile is visible as a delicate change in tone across the surface, with no woven motif or contrasting pattern to interrupt the colour. Epoque Pearl is catalogued as Velvet, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Epoque Pearl on a buttoned armchair, headboard or compact sofa where its pale cream tone can bring lightness without the harder look of pure white. Pair it with warm timber, chalky neutrals and softly aged metallics to echo the shade’s gentle luminosity.

A quietly luminous pearl velvet for upholstered seating, headboards and occasional furniture.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
